Updated character models are a much-anticipated feature in Warlords of Draenor. Our Warlords of Draenor Modelviewer now shows new Human Female, Night Elf Female, Draenei Male, and Undead Male models, so we put together some previews! We've got videos of the new character model emotes as well as screenshots of the updated facial features on the Alpha.

Do note that these models are not final or completed - they are in-progress versions which will be subject to further iteration.

You can expand these videos by clicking the player resize in the bottom right, or visit our YouTube Channel. You can even subscribe to be notified whenever we upload new videos.

To view the new models on Wowhead, simply select the "Warlords" option that's present on Wowhead's modelviewer and then select an animation on the lower right side. You can access the modelviewer on nearly every page--items, transmog sets, and itemsets to name a few.

You can also see what your own character will look like if you go to http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/list and enter in your realm\/character information!

I'm gonna be total honest. Beside the fact I never made and will never make a draenei male the model looks pretty nice. I don't like NE and undead tho.. they are just too different. NE female looks too manly for me and undead looks rather dumb instead something that should be frightening in the dark.\r\rI really like that they put effort into stuff like this, but (as expected) not every1 will like it, including me. Hoping for an option where you can choose if you want to use the new models or the old ones... but yeah, hopefully most players will like it. \r\roff: I am REALLY looking forward to the draenei female animations :<

Was this just a preliminary thing and they haven't implemented all the new faces yet for female humans? The human females at least all look the same now! I was really happy with the changes initially, but we only saw one face each time a new model was announced. I checked how 3 of my human toons looked on the profiler and they were all smiling identically with big, huge eyes! My paladin's original face has narrow eyes and is absolutely NOT smiling.... I liked it because it had a stoic expression and NOT a smile. Another originally had narrower, angled eyes with eyeshadow and is also NOT smiling... on purpose. I have one female human toon where I picked a more smiling face. I would post the picture I have comparing them all old and new so you understand what I mean if I could even just upload it for this one comment, but don't think I can.

Grrr! I'm really unhappy about this. Blizzard, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! allow for the different faces to maintain the variety the classic models have in their expressions (by expressions I mean their "resting" expression, I know the new models have an array of expressions when they fight and do emotes). The new models are very nice and I can tell a lot of work was put into it, but not every face needs to be smiling, let alone smiling with the same expression, and they don't all have the exact same shape of eyes. The nightelf faces are also dangerously similar to each other. My once stern looking night elf now has the edges of a smile on her lips. :'(We girls do not like having all of our female toons smile. We purposefully pick faces that are not smiling sometimes. I feel confident that many would agree with me on at least that point.

If it's too late to change this, please at least reconsider allowing us to change our toons' races and features. You could even limit it to a one time thing for only characters you currently have that are level XX, like 50 or higher only. :(

So the night elf model still looks a little quirky - and I can't upload a ton of sets because I keep crashing. Anyway, here are some sets you can take a peak at.\r\rhttp:\/\/imgur.com\/gallery\/YEUDc\/

For those panicking, Blizz has said repeatedly that these are examples of the upgrades. They are working really hard to keep the faces that you originally picked the same - just better.\rThink about it like you have been running around seeing your character on a 1950's era tv screen all this time.\rNow you will suddenly have it in HD!

I know they've been saying that, but that profiler scared the crap out of me when I checked out a few of my toons knowing they each have different classic faces. There are very slight differences, like the shape and color of the lips, and the eye color, and there's one face I noticed that has some smile lines so I was worried this was it.

I do really like the face of the NE females. But the hands and feet - bleurgh! Don't assume because it's on the old model, everyone just loved it! I hate those man hands and feet - the sooner they're gone, the better!

When I saw the preview picture at the top I was like WTH, are "female" night elves becoming male now? That picture is unflattering to say the least.

I absolutely agree. I don't like the huge hands NE females have either. Never did, never will. However, on the female human \/rude emote that finger wiggle is very cute.\r\rOn the UD male, that shoulder bone seems to be clipping through the armor on certain emotes, which is not really visually pleasing. Maybe if they could tone it down a little (considering they were humans, no shoulder bone actually looks like that, not on that size anyway, it is not a femur) it would look better.

Epic fail on using a robe that covers their legs... I mean, we're showcasing new models and animations, might as well have them naked.

I was thinking the same thing... a bizarre choice.\r\rAnd... since when do Night Elves have vampire fangs?

I believe it is a good thing that they want to keep the structure of the old model as a memento so I don't mind at all for the night elves big hands, to be honest I didn't even notice, the face is too good to look at any other part of the 3D model anyway. Even before the upgrade night elves were really nice comparing to other old races. The hair in all models though seem a bit strange, suddenly at some point you have this smooth nice flowing hair and they have some weird "strands" of hair that protrude from the rest os the hairstyle, maybe to add some naturality but to me it seems like a texture have gone wrong rather than a small strand of hair.

I was thinking the same thing... a bizarre choice.\r\rAnd... since when do Night Elves have vampire fangs?\r\rThey've always had them, or at least they did in Warcraft 3, the game where they were introduced. However, due to model limitations they never had them in wow, hence the confussion. But they were always meant to have fangs.
